Tickets to the Taylor Swift concert at the new Intrust Bank Arena sold out in less than half an hour. Some people who had waited since six o’clock Friday morning left empty handed.

A lottery for the tickets began at 9:30 outside the arena in downtown Wichita. Officials decided on a lottery to ensure public safety and discourage people from camping out.
No one was supposed to start lining up until seven but people were waiting in their cars as early as four o’clock. At 9:30, officials held the drawing.
A six ticket limit didn’t slow things down. Arena officials say the lottery process went smoothly.
There was a small computer glitch when sales first started but it was quickly resolved.
Tickets from Friday’s sales and pre-orders are already selling online for three and four times their value.
